Contents
Maus Frères (French for "Maus Brothers") was founded in 1902 by wholesalers Ernest and Henri Maus and retailer Léon Nordmann. Its oldest business remains the Manor department store chain, which gets its name from founders' names "Maus" and "Nordmann". Until the early 1990s, Maus also owned Printemps in France and the Bergner's, Carson Pirie Scott, and Boston Store department store chains in the Midwestern United States.
